Just happened to see a garage sale? The little lucheon sets are so sweet and I bet they just homed in on you and pulled you over to get them! I can't wait to see the sunflower garden house. What a cute idea! Thank you so much for sharing your garden with us. Havea happy week. Sherry

love your garden! Hope you enjoy your sunflower house!I planted many kinds of sunflowers in my garden last year....randomly. They were amazing...All different varieties! they were so thick we couldn't walk through them in places! I did it as a screen between the neighbour and our place...they were very pretty and lasted all summer long! some were really tiny but some were 8-12 ft high..maybe taller. take careHeather

Hi Kelli, Imagine my joy when I saw my illustration from my first book Sunflower Houses. Hurrah! You'll enjoy it, but maybe put a sturdy stake at either side of the door, and at the corners. (learned through the years). Keep up your great Mom work and your wonderful blog. I love it!

Sharon Lovejoy P.S. I have a different design for a sunflower house in my book Roots Shoots Buckets & Boots!

I'm so glad you were able to get out in the garden too! We had a marvelous time getting some things planted although many still need to wait for the last frost date (2 more weeks approx). I didn't get near enough cleaning done, but had fun with the fam. that's what's important right?

Thank you so much for your sweet comments on our family photos!

Have a blessed week! I definitely would love a visit to your garden. Especially the sunflowers, my hubby pulls out all the ones the birds "plant."

I hope your sunflower house grows "like crazy" and that your children find it delightful! A friend has given me seed for sunflowers with "heads" as large as hubcaps...hmmmm. Now to find the right spot for these "giants"!

Oh love the tea sets!!!!! And you have totally resolved my tree issue, my Husband wanted to just do bricks around a tree out front but the way you have yours with the flowers, birdbath etc, it looks perfect!!!! I cannot wait to try and do mine like that!

You have been such a busy bee in your garden. It won't be long before you see the fruits of your labor. I love sunflowers! I've tried to grow them a number or years but the little animals here eat them before they have a chance to grow very well. Thankfully, they do leave my other flowers alone.

I am planning to do a major upheavel in my backyard this year. Tear out all the grass and start anew and plant some shrubs and a small little veggie garden. I am gonna be scouring some yard sales and ebay for a nice patio set that won't rust in the elements.

Kelly, Be sure to post photos when your sunflower house is all grown in.Gillian (9) and I have discussed a morning glory tee pee. We could plant the seeds in Pots, place them in a circle and grow them into a tee pee shape with the help of some bamboo canes.Terri

What a wonderful transformation! I can't wait to see it in bloom. You really must help me with my sad yard some day. My mind goes blank when I try to think of what to do with it. You on the other hand have the wonderful ability to make everything so cosy! =0)
